So you want to implement a kind of browsing of SMB networks directly in the filesystem? I'm not aware of anyone doing anything like that. In my experience browsing Windows networks tends to be slow and unreliable, would you want to have something like that implemented in a filesystem? It would be very interesting to see working however! Perhaps it could be implemented as an extension to smbfs? > P.S. Sorry for my English.
